Wildlife Friendly Vegetable Gardens | Ep3: Creating a sustainable and wildlife-friendly space

In the third part of our series on Wildlife Friendly Vegetable Gardening, we're exploring how to create a sustainable and wildlife-friendly space. Whether you're part of a community garden or growing your own food at home, these tips will help you create a plot that provides food for people and wildlife whilst having minimal impact on the environment.
🐝🌸🏡🌳🦔🌱
We speak to Andy Callow from Sherwood Garden Consultancy to find out:
- How to provide for pollinators
- How to provide habitat for wildlife
- How to keep your plot sustainable
We'll be sharing even more films like this as part of our Green Your Neighbourhood campaign, so don't forget to like and subscribe to stay updated and become part of the #GreenYourNeighbourhood movement! 💚

About Green your Neighbourhood:
We want to make it easy for people like you to take ownership of your local green space and take action that will benefit your local area, your community and wildlife. So we're unveiling a series of inspiring short films filled with practical tips and heartwarming stories, to help you make a difference in your community.
Green your Neighbourhood is being made possible thanks to a grant of £10,000 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery Players. The Wildlife Garden Project has been working alongside Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust to film community groups involved in Nextdoor Nature Nottingham, the Trust’s movement for nature.

I've done this! I mostly love it, it's actually easier to garden this way. My German mother hates it because it's kind of messy, she prefers manicured with a lawn :D this year the rabbits got all of my pumpkins and squash, the deer tried to get my fruit trees, and the squirrels stripped my peach trees in 3 days.

So good to hear you're gardening this way already, although I hope you didn't mind sharing your vegetables with the local wildlife!
We like 'messy' although wildlife friendly spaces certainly don't have to be! 💚

@@wildlifegardenproject I've learned that if the animals get all of a crop it just means I didn't plant enough
